Letter to the Editor: If you want change, do something constructive

I am amazed and sickened by the continuous protesting on college campuses around the country. Is Yale’s courseload so easy that these future leaders of tomorrow have the time to spend whining for eight days straight? A perfect example of the change needed in this country and hopefully will be addressed by President-elect Trump. We need an end to political correctness which is ruining our country and our future generations. Why don’t they carry signs that tell the truth? “I want my way. I’ve always gotten my way. Tantrums work for us. I want you to do things my way now. I can’t handle being told no.”

I am a firm believer in American freedoms, one being the right to protest. Why not put your energy into something you have an iota of actually changing? America has an Electoral College; they liked that process when their candidate won over the last candidate that lost carrying the popular vote. Now all of the sudden it’s flawed.

I for one was less than overjoyed in 2004 or 2008, when a well known (self described) — socialist was singlehandedly ruining this country. I respected the process, picked myself up and carried on. How sad that the spoiled generations of today lack the maturity to accept things as they are. Instead of choosing to work through the proper channels to change what they deem unfair, they chose to perpetuate, and incite racism; a tactic that’s been used at every turn by current administration. Paid protesters made more money under the reign of Obama than ever before. If you people want a better world than go back to class and learn how to make it one. Stop the whining and grow up.
